Hinted at a revival when ninth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 19 days ago, staying on when badly hampered 1f out. One to consider.

Cill Mocheallog^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: J F Egan| T: D K Ivory| OR: 64| D

Ajrad²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 62| D

33/1

4 wins from 15 runs this year. Latest win at Bath in September. Below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 25/1) 22 days ago but the sort to bounce back quickly.

Form: 112187

Chifa³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Gina Mangan| T: E De Giles| OR: 62| CD

8/1

16/1

Course winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at this course (8f) 7 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Levey| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 63| BF

3/1

11/1

11/2, fair fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and no forlorn hope.

Form: 600524

South Dakota Sioux⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: J Butler| OR: 59| D

7/2

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 5/1) 51 days ago. Not taken lightly off a slipping mark.

Form: 122784

(4)

Neptune Legend⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: James Owen| OR: 58| D

9/1

Latest win at Bath in August. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Brighton (6f, good) 82 days ago on his final run for Tony Carroll but he can't be discounted starting out for good new yard now.

Form: 529126

Beau Jardine^b²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: William Carson| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 54| D

33/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2024. Good second of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this course (6f) 28 days ago. Needs considering once more.

Form: 444892

Private Officer³⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S D Bowen| T: A Wintle| OR: 52

50/1

A modest ex-Irish 1m winner but not seen out for 12 months. Starts out for a new stable with his fitness to prove.

Forecasts

Luminous Warrior (3/1), South Dakota Sioux (7/2), Penelope Valentine (4/1), Al Waqidi (11/2), Triggered (7/1), Chifa (8/1), Neptune Legend (9/1), Caffu Zafeen (10/1), Naval Ensign (11/1), Cill Mocheallog (14/1), Capuchinero (16/1), Beau Jardine (33/1), Ajrad (33/1), Private Officer (50/1)

This looks wide open so it could pay to side with LUMINOUS WARRIOR to take a big step forward for his new yard and capitalise on a lenient mark. C&D winner Penelope Valentine wasn't seen to ideal effect when fourth at Wolverhampton last time and heads the list of dangers, although Al Waqidi could also have a big say if building on his recent C&D seventh. South Dakota Sioux and Neptune Legend complete the shortlist.
